Clutch problem

Hi Lynx,
If wanting 'odd / unobtainable' bits Steve of
http://www.400fourbits.co.uk
often is able to supply... and occasionally breaks down assemblies as required... so you don't have to buy the full lot. Worth a look if you've not seen his website before...

It seems that the bearings might have been worn and maybe caused damage to the cam lifter.
Replacing the old thrust washer with one of a known correct size, and also fitting a new cam lifter/bearings has done the job.

Hi Ted. I have a similar problem with my CB750. What was the width/dimensions of your thrust washer? Original parts are not available anymore so I'm looking for a replacement.
Best,
Pierre

My problem seems worse when hot. I just can't get it into neutral when stationary. So I thought it was probably a bent plate which was warping more when it got hot.
To try and sort this I've fitted new friction plates, checked spare metal plates for flatness and installed them, fitted a spare clutch basket with new damping rubbers and checked all those parts Ted mentions above. There is a little bit of wear on them but they don't look bad to me. I've checked it is adjusted right.
Any ideas anyone?

I had an issue on my 400/4 where the clutch as you were initially letting it out was grabbing and the not (repeat ).
I was given a tip which cured this. If you look at the metal plates they are stamped out and on the outer edge they have a sharp side and a rounded side.
These all need to be facing the same way (I did mine facing IN)
Problem cured ;D ;D
There is another post about it on here or the site over the pond.

Hi Paul. I did resolve the problem in the end by replacing the whole of the lifting mechanism with good secondhand stuff from Germany via eBay. Thanks.
